Kamala Harris is roundly criticized for feeding America a steady diet of word salads. But what else can she do, given her impossible task of making the Democratic Party's progressive policies palatable to the American people? To appreciate Harris' challenge, note that none of her top surrogates have been able to square that circle either. There is no Democrat who makes you think, why can't our candidate just say that " as Sen. Tom Cotton and Vivek Ramaswamy do for Republicans while describing Donald Trump's policies. Harris' stand-ins may not get lost in the weeds of pablum, as Harris did last week when she told a crowd, "I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community." But when they are not comparing Trump to Hitler, her representatives are as gauzy and incoherent as she is.
Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate. Unfortunately, so is Trump. And here we are.
